today is spam-day apparently

[lirazel]

+ I just updated all of my sticky posts so that, hopefully, all of my fic is now listed (there are some drabbles written for fic-a-thons that might still be floating free, but hopefully everything else is there now!). Plus, I've got everything longer than (I believe) 500 words up over at Archive Of Our Own, as well.

Whew! I'd forgotten how much trouble that is! Now I'm remembering why I try to do it as I write each fic instead of waiting until I've got a bunch. But if you notice that I've missed anything, do let me know. I like to keep accurate records.

+ I need 10 O’Clock Live to come back right now. I have no idea what’s going on in the UK at the moment, and it’s all because I don’t trust anyone but David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker to tell me the news in monologue form. COME ON. WHEN ARE YOU COMING BAAAACK? It’s been forever since I’ve seen Jimmy Carr dress up in a ridiculous costume and fake a ridiculous accent for no good reason at all. RETURN TO ME.

+ I have written at least 1,000 words for my novel every day so far this month! I am so proud of me! But trying not to get too cocky about it because when you do, the rug gets pulled out from under you, doesn't it?

+ Other than that, my life is predictably boring. Just the way I like it.

Yay, writing! Yay, spammage! Because I am always glad to see posts from you, regardless of what you're talking about. :)

You're the best! I am feeling really good about the writing so far. 1,000 words has proved managable. Small goals at first, I say.

The Lauren spammage is welcome! And wooohoo for writing every day!

Which novel is this now? I don't think we've talked about it much (unless you're waiting to talk about it? or I'm just horribly inattentive!).

Updating fic archives is THE WORST. My fic index on my journal is woefully out of date and I just can't work up the will to get it done. Oh well. /shrugs

There's more important stuff to do like read A Feast for Crows and rewatch GoT and chat with my online buds and eventually do chores!

This is the Lady Scarlet Pimpernel in Space one? I fear talking about it so much that I talk it out, though. But trust me, eventually I will be beginning for your help in the action-y scenes, so I'm sure you'll hear allllll about it.

I kept putting off and putting off updates but yesterday I had nothing to do at work, and I thought, "Well, this will at least pass the time!" But it took so loooooong!

I got my dose of Jimmy Carr dressing up in ridiculous costumes when him and Alan Carr took over the adverts for some comedy night on channel 4. My favourite may have been when a ad of a girl using the 0800 return switched to them in bed having just answered the call from their daughter, cue discussion about how they're stuck in a loveless marriage.

On the 10 o'clock Live subject though, I quite enjoyed it, but I was surprised that it got such a critical drubbing.

I have no idea why people so enjoy seeing him dressed up in silly costumes, but it incredibly entertaining. And he's a good sport about it.

I did have my complaints about the show--I thought they tried to do too much in each episode. Like their little panel discussions--great idea in theory, but just when they got interesting, it was over. Too short by far. They should trade off: in one episode have a panel discussion and make it longer, in the next do one of their interviews with a political figure and make it longer. I think that would help a lot.

But honestly, I'm just there because I love David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker so much.
